Never mind Swine Flu, what about MP expense claims?

[The Comedian]

Swine Flu is but a distant memory now that he media has alerted the masses to the fact that pretty much every MP is claiming as much as they can for whatever they can. Twice. For everything from horse manure to mortgage payments.

So you mean they are fiddling their expenses?

Did no-one suspect this previously?

 

[Dicorpo]

Well people of a democratic society like ours assume that politicians have the interests of the people at heart and not their own wallets...

We were wrong....

 

[paintball_scots]

im gonna be straight up and say if any of us couldve done it for so long and got away with it we probaly wouldve done it.

doesnt make it right but still.

did you hear bout the mp that used his expense to get his moat cleaned, what i want to know is why the funk does he have a moat?

..........And it is this same body of people who makes our laws, expect us, nay, tell us to pay our taxes, to abide by the law, to act reasonably and responsibly etc, etc, etcet er fackin ra .....

I love the way the word 'mistake' has no euphemised other words like. theft and fraud and deception.

Its' exactly the same as me robbing a bank and getting away with it, some time after, the bank realise they had a camera running and the robber was gonna be unmasked and I realised I was fu kk'd.
I then say 'oh sorry, I made a mistake I'll give the money back'.

It's EXACTLY the same ...these bastar ds should be put in prison for fraud and theft.... they are scum, pure scum.

The MP's expenses song

MP’s EXPENSES SONG (Sing to ABBA’s original music)

Money Money Money

They lie all night and cheat all day, their claims all in and then we pay
Ain't it bad
And still it just appears to be, they’re all corrupt, no honesty
Makes us mad
To take it all, that is their plan
To rake it in the perfect scam
Expenses paid, no claim too small, they spin around and catch us all...

Money, money, money
Must be lovely
In an MP’s world
Money, money, money
Con the country
In an MP’s world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things they can screw
Just to claim the public’s money
In an MP’s world

They list it all for where they stay, a second home - someone must pay
Ain't it bad
They say they claim it legally, they do not care as you can see
Makes us mad
So they must leave, they have to know
We’ve had enough, they’ll have to go
They’ve made a fortune in a game, but life will never be the same...

Money, money, money
Must be lovely
In an MP’s world
Money, money, money
Con the country
In an MP’s world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things they can screw
Just to claim the public’s money
In an MP’s world

Money, money, money
Must be lovely
In an MP’s world
Money, money, money
Con the country
In an MP’s world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things they can screw
Just to claim the public’s money
In an MP’s world

In an MP’s world

[outkastmike]

I dont know what annoys me more the ones who claim £20,000 or the ones that claim 57p.

 

[Tony Harrison]

The Daily Telegraph has published lists of expense claims by all MP's on its website.

According to them, 5 Sinn Fein MP's claimed over half a million in expenses over 5 years, even though they refuse to attend parliament.

And it seems Gassy has a hidden talent - I'm expecting him to turn up on Britain's Got Talent or Big Brother.
